Korean Kids Song Sunday: Tadpole and the Frog 올챙이와 개구리

This Tadpole and Frog song is another popular one on you-tube. I like it because the 꼬물꼬물 (ggoh-mool, ggoh-mool) part is just so dang cute. I had to look up in my Korean-English dictionary what 꼬물꼬물 and 팔딱팔딱 (pahl-dahk pahl-dahk) means. Ha. But it's like trying to look up "splish-splash", "th-thump" or another onomatopoeia (ooh! I spelled that right on the first try!) Pahl-dahk means to palpitate or leap. But I'm going to make up the meaning for ggoh-mool as the sound or motion a tadpole makes as it swims wrigglingly through the water
